About Fan-gluing

About
Fan-gluing

The Fan-gluing Press is designed specifically for hobbyists and the small binding and repair operation such as that found with increasing frequency in larger libraries.

Fan-gluing is a simple adhesive binding technique for securing individual pages to one another at the spine edge. Fan-glued books are durable and flexible. They open easily and, if properly finished, yield to the photocopy machine without damage to the book.

With the Fan-gluing Press, an appropriate PVA glue and a brush the handcraft binder or preservation technician can consolidate the pages of a book in a fraction of the time it would take to sew a book.

In an elementary library repair operation the Fan-gluing Press can be used to bind in-house publications, theses or photocopied books where the original pages are made of single leaves and easily jogged into alignment.

In a more advanced repair and rebinding operation that has the capability to trim the spine edge of a book clean, the Fan-gluing Press can be used for first-time binding of periodicals and rebinding of paperbacks and hardbacks.
